included to make your small coiled pine needle basket. Resources to continue on your own are provided.
Intermediate students will be given materials and instruction on a more complex vessel. Fri March 4, 10 - 4:30 $105/$20

Pochoir Stencils (French Stencil technique) Jackie Hefty
Pochoir stencils may find their way as book images,
decorative paper designs, scrapbooking and/or greeting cards. A terrific alternative to screen printing and a great
way to utilize some less expensive pastels. Simplified images and designs work
best as you learn the basics. A good cutting matt and x-acto knife will be necessary. Minimal supply list. Sat

Non-Adhesive Books Jackie
Hefty
No
needles or sewing either! One sheet of paper can become a book with the correct folding, creasing and cutting. (Think paper
dolls.) We will explore the possibilities of meandering books, accordion books with folded paper covers and a pocket accordion.
Bring some decorative papers if you'd like, we will also make a few of our own to use for the books. Sat
March 19, 1 - 5 $60/$5 materials
Just a little note:
Many of the classes I personally offer are meant to provide a progression
in the inter-related book arts opportunities. It is not necessary to take them in any specific order, but understand
they are complimentary in nature. By taking a decorative paper workshop, you may utilize your work in a book structure
as text pages, end sheets or as a cover. Likewise, by taking papermaking you may use the results in a book or as a substrate
for a print, drawing, painting, or with letterpress. Think of them as part of, or a means to an
end, not the end in themselves. (not that many can not stand alone and be appreciated as completed work) It is also for
this reason I repeat some foundational workshops more often. Understanding the method to my madness may be helpful when making
workshop choices.
